When the translator said the novel isn't worth translating, does that mean that he didn't like what he read?

I think he meant that there wasn't any filler in the novel that was really interesting. Don't forget that translating Japanese is very hard work, considering that there are three sub-languages within it. (Hiragana, katakana, kanji) So far, I agree. Apart from the 'Tidus is feeling lonely' part (I actually feel pretty sorry for him. ) and the illusion talk, there's nothing really of interest in the first chapter so far. Of course, the madness starts on the island. But it probably takes until halfway into the book to get there.

Although that's a nice way of looking at it, Pixel simply didn't like what he was reading. It disgusted him, and he said he might very well stop. He did shortly after he made that comment.

I said "w-h-o-r-e" that time. The forum has censored me a number of times lately, but didn't a couple of weeks back when I said "f-u-c-k." Now it does censor **** and everything else.

There may be an automatic censor. I'll do some tweaking and see if I can't do some custom bypassing. --Alright, I looked into it a bit and the censor is inherently unavoidable. Once ads are initiated, an unmovable censor is put in place. You can bypass having a word censored by putting . between the letters of the word, so the censor won't detect it. You can do this with any character, but using . makes the character unnoticeable.

Man, now I'm even more curious. 'Disgusted' is a pretty strong word, you know.

Do you have any more passages that he or KaminaSan translated? I wonder if there's anything specific that made him quit, if it wasn't the boat sex or the island or Yuna's supposed cold nature. Maybe it's something in the Boy's Side.

Just thinking that he said that he was disgusted by it, makes me think, how could they destroy such a beautiful story?, i really didnt like that we should get disgusted by it, there is something on that book that freaked people out.So if this is continuing like this, and if the translated pages give us even worst content, i'll l just think that the audio drama and novella does not exist, and that the X series finishes oficially in Last Mission, where it tells that Tidus and Yuna live happily in Besaid.

The funniest part is the fact that the main character's head getting blown off isn't even the worst thing about the novel if we are to believe this.

I know I'm just going to get angry about all these translations, but the thing is... I can't look away. This whole thing can be summed up by the 'train-wreck/car explosion' analogy. You know it's going to be horrible, but you can't stop wanting more.

Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the next train-wreck. Aren't you?

Because this is probably the most unfortunately exciting thing that's ever happened to FFX in years.

as a game, this would be a waste of money for the production team. We all know what happens.

but it would be worthwhile as a DLC I think

I disagree totally and one only needs to play FFVII: Crises Core to know why. The whole game revolves around Zack, a minor character in FFVII who we only see in flash backs. In the prequel new characters are created that help define the originals. By seeing the story through their eyes rather than someone else we gain a new prospective on the events that took place and what influenced them to make certain choices. Although fans are aware of Zack's ultimate fate it becomes all the more heart breaking because we do see the extant of the progress of the characters involved.

While in FFX the Jecht Sphere's do outline the pilgrimage a game could do more than just fill in the blanks. After all Braska, Jecht and Auron obviously had interesting lives long before they got together to take down Sin.

Is there a way to subscribe to the chapter translations thread?

There's a notify button next to 'reply' so I assume that's the subscription button? I have been receiving e-mail notifications whenever someone replies to this thread but I've stopped receiving them recently... probably because I rarely clicked on the links, let alone post in this thread

So who wants to bet that Ifernal will be one of the villains of X-3 if it ever comes to light, if not the main villain? His name's one letter short of being 'infernal.' Plus he's a god-like spirit (infernal can mean demonic as well as evil), and he has the power to lock away memories...
